difference between the harder core fan bases.
Even if Utah loses, we were supposed to any way.
At least this an extra game against a great team with meaningful ramifications if we win. The entertainment value is fantastic.
That’s really what CFB is about.
I don’t see why it matters that no one outside UW and UU (and BYU I guess) fans care.
I wonder if it’s related to the BYU-church connection. Where a lot of fans might see the mission of BYU athletics as a platform to gain publicity for the church. As a result, national attention and validation may be extremely to many BYU fans.
Just a thought.
But I don’t think any of that matters for Utah. Or really anyone outside the CFP or NY6.
